Live Connection reports - best practice?

Anonymous,

I recommend developing reports in Power BI Desktop. If you develop a report in Power BI Service that is sourced from a published dataset, and that published dataset gets deleted and republished, the report will be broken with no way to repoint it to the new published dataset. This is due to the fact that datasets are based on GUIDs, not names. Power BI Desktop, however, gives you the option to repoint a report to a different published dataset. This was a frustrating discovery, resulting in my team having to recreate all reports that had been developed online. If you want to avoid the possibility of having to recreate reports, then use Power BI Desktop.
